New Discovery Algorithm

Before: The same groups showed every time you visit (meaning a few groups grow)

After: Different groups show every time - try refreshing (meaning lots of groups grow)

Before: Primarily focused on quantity (posts, comments, members)

After: Primarily focused on quality (retention, engagement, members keep visiting)

Before: One overall ranking (painting groups compete with business groups)

After: Different rankings per category (each category competes with itself, evening the playing field)

Check it out and see what you think for yourself: https://www.skool.com/discovery. I think it reveals some really wholesome groups.

Note 1: Retention doesn't just apply to paid groups. If members regularly visit a free community for long into the future, that means you have good retention! We reward groups with high retention.

Note 2: For more information we have three help docs. How to rank higher in Discovery? Why isn't my group visible in Discovery? How is my group categorized?

Note 3: "We're fixing some bugs with the new discovery algorithm so things may change over the next few days. Don't read too much into the current rankings till the dust settles. This change will definitely help more groups get discovered." -
